3.Going to gigs at the Riverside where they hosted Shindig on a Saturday.

Nirvana, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Pearl Jam, Faithless, David Bowie, and Oasis played here. It got so hot the sweat would drip off the ceiling, and no one gave a shit what their hair and make-up looked like.

4.Using a typewriter to write up your essays and thinking the computer room was full of geeks.

10.Living in a really minging house and not caring.

11.Being able to go out on a tenner any night of the week.

You'd go to Ritzy on Monday, Planet Earth on Tuesday, Buzz and Bliss on Wednesday, The Boat on Thursday, and the Union on Friday. Weekends were reserved for resting or going to Luckies for a free half with every pint.

12.Downing as many £1.50 trebles as you could on The Boat then being sick over the side.
